I don't man to knock Cerrato too much cause I do like Thomas, Kelly, and Davis but with out decent position coach's we get mediocracy and still with a need to inject life into our O-line.

I'll also say that I keep hearing how the O-line is not giving JC enough time to throw the ball....I think the O-line is. It's far fetched to think the O-line is going to give him 10 sec. or more to get the ball to someone. In most cases the QB only has 3-7 seconds. In most cases. Which is exactly what JC is getting. I think it has more to do with either the route running the WR's are doing, not getting seperation, or JC is actually so nervous back there he's not observing the whole field.

I read somewhere yesterday (sorry I can't remember where and provide the link) that one of the problems with JC/our passing game is that his lack of trust in the OL is such that he's moving too quickly thru his progressions (as opposed to the 'he locks onto receivers' criticism) which leads to quick checkdowns and missing open receivers.
